Wonderful news! And I do hope that Tanith is on Battle of the Blades again, because we'll get to see her on YouTube.

It is really a bit sad that one of our best ice dancing couples ever has to go to Japan to get the attention they deserve as pro skaters. But at least it's on this planet, and we'll get to see them perform one way or another. Hooray for Shizuka, and her contributions to ice skating.

Nice for them but realistically a bit of a sad state of skating. You always try to be positive but the entertainment market is drying up and let's face it the skaters give so much of themselves you are kind of forced to find work for the most part wherever adn whenever you can. It is never spoken. If V and M and D and W retire next year B and A maybe but a fading memory or worse a smurf or Disney character.
